In Settings > About phone > Software Information you should have the following after the update:
Firmware 2.1
Baseband Version 2.42.01.04.27
Software Number: 2.37.605.4

Interesting note here. I did this update on my v3 leak Eris last night with no issues. Step by step it worked just fine.

On my wife's 2.1 OTA Eris, the Vol UP/Power would not go into recovery. In order to get into recover I had to use Vol Down+Power, select recovery, then proceed with the steps.

Either her Volume Up button is broken, or something odd was happening. I can't really explain it.

It does not change the boot loader, I unrooted my phone and installed the update and then rooted it again

Do I need to unroot my phone in order to install this? Will it change my hboot 1.49 to sh-on again?

If I have to unroot my phone first, how is that done?

 

[applejackaz]

not working for me ;( Moved the update.zip (yes I renamed it) to the root folder of my.

If I press Volume Down and Power I get a boot screen with Recovery, Simlock, Clear Storage.

Update: I clicked recovery... then got an Eris with a ! in a Red Triangle, then got "E:Can't open /caches/recovery/command" So I then pressed Volume Up and power, and now got the option to Update from Sdcard... seems to be patching now Fingers crossed!

Question: Anyone have the Patch Notes?

Thanks. This worked for our two phones. Spending the summer in a 1x area, so wifi is the only way. This should be at the top!

i agree! this is how i got mine updated, not the other way.

Didn't work for me -

"E:failed to verify whole-file signature E:signature verirfication failed Installation aborted."

I am on rooted - the v3 leak to newest root method

sounds like you unzipped the file.

Same thing happened to me...Can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I haven't unzipped the file and I've renamed it correctly..hmmm

 

[wendroid]

I didn't unzip the file. I think what happened here is that my software signature wasn't new enough to accept the update. Instead I did the latest RUU which wiped all of my data. But it worked well and I have the latest software (without root). When I was done with the update this OTA was waiting for me from Verizon. It installed fine.

 

[Ryukashin]

hey just in case it wasn't mentioned if you are on leak v3 you will get this update OTA. or at least i did.

 

[Puddlejumpernva]

Download it.
Move it to the root folder of your SD card.
Rename it "update.zip"
Turn your phone off, and then back on by pressing Vol-Up & End/Power until the phone starts.
Wait 15 seconds.
Then press Vol-Up & End/Power again - you should get a short menu, one entry of which will say something about "sdcard:update.zip"; choose that.

This update is keyed to only specific releases, namely leak-V3 and OTA2.1. It will abort on 1.5, leaks V1 & V2, and the original root-ROM.

I was hoping someone here could help me out. I'm not getting the boot short menu (recovery screen??) to come up. I'm not sure my sequencing and timing is right...

This is what I have tried:

1. Power off
2. Volume up and power key; I hold both until the three dudes come up and there is a little vibrate and release both buttons.
3. After 15 seconds, I press volume up and power and the start-up continues, no menu.
4. Eventually the phone is on and the buttons do what they are supposed to do, like turn up the volume and pull up the shutdown menu screen.

What am I doing wrong, please?

Ugh! Thanks in advance!

 

[Puddlejumpernva]

I tried powering on with the volume down key pressed until the three dudes came up and released, accessed the HBoot screen and selected recovery. At the red triangle, I pressed volume up with the power button and that allowed access to my update.zip on the SD card. I'm re-booting now with the update, looking good so far!

Success! Software number: 2.37.605.4

 

[rick311]

if i am rooted and want to unroot, can i just install this and be back?

I first installed the RUU which is will bring you to unrooted stock phone. http://androidforums.com/htc-droid-eris/92096-verizons-ruu-official-2-1-droid-eris-2.html This worked perfectly for me. I am now on latest stock rom, and unrooted. When you install this the newest OTA bug fix, 12 mb size, will be sent to your phone so you won't even have to download this one. I'm really glad I did this.

I got sick and tired waiting for this patch to show up in my phone. So I downloaded it and installed it as directed on the top of this thead.

So far so good....

[VA_Joe]

Waited long enough...downloaded and installed as directed.

Thanks.

 

[tjbessey]

I have done this several times and I get the following:


e:Error in /sdcard/update.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.

The file when downloaded to my computer is 12.8 megs and when moved to any sd card (I tried two) becomes 13.123 megs

I have no idea what is going on here, but no update for me.

[Brainfart]

If I install this RUU will it change my recovery back to stock also? I want to go back to stock non-root for a while.

As stated just rename it to update.zip? Or can I just run it in my clockwork recovery as is?

Also will this change my kernel back to stock as well?

 

[pkopalek]

Is there a new link to this around?

The one linked in the OP here doesn't seem to work anymore.

I think I found it on my laptop and uploaded it to megauploads.

You're awesome. Thank you very much for this. Perfect. I'm gonna make a patch to go over Ivan's Eris_Official 1.0 (or any normal odex'd ROM)
